The nursing measure that takes priority in relation to the care of a patient with an gastroesophageal balloon tube is to:
1.   deflate the balloon periodically.
2.   advance the tube as instructed.
3.   monitor respirator status.
4.   withhold medications that could decrease restlessness.


This is for my medical nursing class

Because of close proximity of the esophagus and trachea, any upward movement of the tube could cause airway obstruction.
